In the box were the Benelli-manufactured Full, Improved Cylinder, and Modified Chokes.

However, screwed into the barrel was what I believe to be a Kicks Buck Kicker Full choke.
What I'm wondering is :

1) Is it safe to use this choke with 00 Buckshot?
I bought the gun to use for skeet shooting, and will obviously use birdshot then, but I have to use buckshot at the local indoor range.

2) Is this a quality choke? Should I be happy to have gotten it, and the almost-new Supernova for about $430? Or should I shake my fist at the dealer a couple times before I run off and have fun with it?

Any answers will be appreciated, as always.
I look forward to your responses.

I think I would go with the improved cylinder for 00 buck if it was me?? I know stell shot you can use a full chock but you can't go with super full chock. Put the improved chock in and go out and put a box out at about 40 yds and shot it with the 00 buck and see what it does?? You should have most of the shot in the box 2'x2' .

Since the ports on the Buckkicker Choke also serve as a "wad grabber" to slow the wad and let the shot clear just ahead of the wad column, this choke is not suited for use with wads like Federal's Flite-Control or Hornady's VersaTite.

Since the introduction of 1 piece wads and stacking 00B in "spiral" offset or simply in layers of two, Full chokes have delivered the tightest of buckshot patterns.

The most recent Flite-Control/VersaTite wads give tighter open choke patterns that any previous small pellet (000, 00, 1) buckshot loads, however these also respond well to modified through full chokes.
